    Price Paid:  $37.00 at Parker International UK

    Favorite Ride:
    tailwind

    Bike Setup:
    DA derailleurs & STI, HG90 and Sachs PCS-51 chains

    Summary:
    Functional equipment at a decent price. While not as smooth shifting, the ramps do work and functionally, there's nothing to complain about. Cassette life has been between 3,000-6,000 miles. I use them all the time now, saving my inventory of D-A cassettes for good weather as its been known to rain a bit in the UK.

    Strengths:
    Were it not for being in the UK, price and availability given that Ultegra 8-spd cassettes are impossible to find although D-A continues to be available in some configurations. Also the product is functional.

    Weaknesses:
    Shifting and running is not as smooth as a D-A cassette. Also, the cogs are riveted together so replacement, absent drilling out the rivets, is a no go.

    Similar Products Used:
    D-A and Ultegra 8-spd cassettes
